My recent trip to the Harz, Germany mainly consisted of cycling in hilly terrain and eating delicious german food. Which is a hardcore combination!
But I also had time to draw some quick doodles during cake breaks in a small notebook that I carried around with me. Most of them are inspired by people (and dogs) that I noticed somewhere. Here’s the first batch:

“Look, honey – there’s that thing!”

“I smell curry wurst.”Cool and calm cake-chopping lady.A dad camping with 3 small kids.Me swimming in a fresh-water pool.Tired teenager on family vacation.

Humans and dogs are being slow and lazy on this very warm Sunday. Our neighbours’ dog likes to have a rest in the hallway with a bit of sun on the top of her back and her face in the shadow. It’s nice to have a friendly watchdog outside the door. But I’m surprised that she can sleep with her nose so close to our shoes.

I’ve recently started drawing on my computer with a drawing tablet. It’s an amazing new world of erasing and drawing straight lines and smushing and playing with different brushes and colours. At the same time it’s kind of frustrating, and I feel like I’m a 5-year-old learning to draw.

Almost at the exact day that I decided to go digital, the weather decided to be nice. So today I brought my laptop outside to experiment with making GIFs. It’s not a perfect situation to work outside, but definitely nice. Kind of like this half-heartedly encouraging mouse giving us all a thumbs up for trying new things.
